OUEERING THEIR OWN LUCK.

Gamblers Who Make the Mistake OF
Holding On When it is Time to Stop.
Gamblers are forever queering their own
luck" said professional gentleman the other
day, in referring to an article on the super
stition of the fraternity. They do it with
matinee tickets sometimes, and again in
straining for new suit Of clothes. Then
there's trying to win enough to pay trifling
sum without breaking a large bill. I've seen
more fellows broke for good that way than
you could count in day"
Il don't quite understand what matinee
tickets, new suit of clothes, or changing a
bill can have to do with bad lucky replied
the writer.
Everything, very often But I'll explain.
Say that a gambler has been playing faro
bank from midnight until noon, and he has
made good winnIng-call it $500. he is
feeling pretty good, but is tired and wants
little recreation. He gets up and cashes in
his checks Then it strikes him that, being
Wednesday OF Saturday, he'll just run over
TO q matinee. Or course a thoroughbred
gambler never thinks Of paying for anything
out of hand if he can win the price out Of the
bank. SO he steps over TO the table again to
Wiz out the price Of matinee tickets fer two
and it's big odds that before he gets done he'll
blow in the whole 500 he won during the
night, and probably sift in after it every cent
be has on earth, and ali On account of paltry

The dwelling of the Statue to be Big
Event for Savannah.
The committee from the Jasper Monu-
ment Association met last night for the pur-
pose of suggesting plan for celebrating the
unwilling of the Jasper Monument on Feb.
%. The committee decided to invite the
city authorities and the several mer-
camille and trade organizations the military
and the various corporations and societies
in the city, to appoint committees to consti-
tute general committee of arrangements
for celebrating the day
Tuesday evening, Nov. %, was selected as
the time, and the court house as the place for
the meeting of the proposed general COM
mittee. The intention of the Jasper Monu-
ment Association is to leave the details of
the celebration, excepting so much as may
relate to the immediate ceremonies attend
ing the unwilling of the statue, to the peo-
pie of Savannah, as represented by the gem
eral committee, representing the vari-
GUS bodies already referred TO,
so that it will be made a
grand public demonstration which will re-
fleet the we'll known public spirit and hospi-
tality of the citizens. The committee from
the Monument Association has adopted an
excellent plan TO interest ali classes in this
patriotic demonstration IN honor of the
memory of the heroic soldier
